Almost all the figures shown are female and white.
Thick board covers help the pages lay flat, making the book easy to consult during an exercise sequence. The English name of each pose is followed by the Sanskrit word highlighted in pink (sans pronunciation guide). Readers are reminded to do the asymmetrical poses on both sides, but these poses are not labeled as such. Appropriate cautions are on almost every spread (“If this feels too intense…”), but postures are shown in their most advanced versions and modifications are not illustrated. Corpse Pose is shown only at the end even though Savasana often both starts and finishes practices. An energizing sequence unfolds in 18 lavender pages a calming sequence follows on 17 light blue pages. Each pose gets its own page, though exactly how to achieve each posture is not always clear from the picture.
Reassuring explanations of general yoga principles are followed by step-by-step instructions. Clean layout, swirly page decorations, simple explanations, and a friendly tone will help this title find its preteen audience.
